Elimination
Source Reduction
Recycling
Treatment
Disposal
Complete elimination of waste.
The avoidance, reduction or elimination ofwaste, generally within the confines of the production unit, throughchanges in industrial processes or procedures.
The use, re-use and recycling of wastes forthe original or some other purpose such as input material, materialsrecovery or energy production .
The destruction, detoxification, neutral-ization etc., of wastes into harmless substances.
The discharge of wastes into the air, wateror land in properly controlled or safe ways such that compliance isachieved.

Conclusions
•An integrative framework approach has been developed in order to reach the best holistic product alternative.• The use of the TCAE and Environmental performance frameworks made possible the full operation of the device in only 3 months and at a cost 30% less than the one used in similar projects previously performed.•The materials chosen for the device were selected for their high degree of recyclables. •The environmental performance framework can be used to evaluate more designs possibilities in order to determine the best alternative (or set of alternatives) to any individual product
